The unbeaten Sun Devils raised their BCS average to .849 after beating California 31-20 on Saturday. Arizona State, with its most challenging games still to play, might not need teams ahead of it to lose to move up the standings.
The Sun Devils play at Oregon, which is fifth in the BCS standings, on Saturday, then finish with games against USC, UCLA and Arizona.
"If they win all of those games, that type of run would be difficult for voters to ignore," said BCS analyst Jerry Palm, who runs collegebcs.com.

I think ASU will meet its Waterloo in Eugene. The Ducks held off the Trojans, who in turn were coming off a thrashing of Notre Dame in South Bend. The Ducks are only inches from unbeaten season. If they had played the Cal team that has shown up the past three weeks, that early season mishap wouldn't have happened.
